Summary of Regulations Governing the Shipment of 
Animals from Other States into Tennessee. 



HORSES, MULES and ASSES must be free from Equine Scabies, 
Glanders, Texas Fever Ticks or other contagious, infectious or communica- 
ble diseases. Horses, mules and asses originating in a quarantined area, 
quarantined on account of the existence of Southern, Splenetic or Texas 
Fever outside of the State of Tennessee, shall not at any time be trans- 
ported, driven or allowed to drift therefrom into any portion of this State, 
unless they are dipped in a standard arsenical solution either at point of 
origin, en route, or on arrival at destination. 

CATTLE — For breeding and dairy purposes. Health certificates in- 
cluding tuberculin test of all cattle over 6 months old. 

HOGS — From public stock yards accepted for immediate slaughter 
only. 

SHEEP — No sheep intended for purposes other than immediate 
slaughter shall be shipped, trailed or otherwise removed or allowed to drift 
into the State of Tennessee, unless accompanied by a certificate of inspec- 
tion issued by an Inspector of the United States Bureau of Animal Indus- 
try, certify that the sheep have been dipped once, within ten day3 of 
time of entry into the State, in either a nicotine or lime and sulphur dip, 
which has been approved by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. 

WHO MAY INSPECT— State and Federal Inspectors or other quali- 
fied veterinarians, who are approved by the Live Stock Sanitary Control 
official of the State in which the shipment originates. The above applies 
to all States except Illinois. (See requirements for Illinois.) 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR DISINFECTION OF PREMISES. 
In the eradication of Glanders, Tuberculosis or other communicable 
disease the thorough disinfection of premises is essential. This may be sat- 
isfactorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 

1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors and other sur- 
faces until free from cobwebs and dust. 

2. Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork 
has become decayed, porous or absorbent, it should be removed, burned and 
replaced with new material. 

3. If floor is of earth remove four inches from the surface, and In 
places where it shows staining with urine a sufficient depth should be re- 
moved to expose fresh earth. All earth removed should be replaced with 
earth from an uncontaminated source, or a new floor of concrete may be 
laid, which is very durable and easily cleaned. 

4. All refuse and material from stable and barnyard should be re- 
moved to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs in case of disinfecting for 
tuberculosis, nor accessible to horses or mules in case of disinfecting for 
glanders. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while 
the wood should be burned. 

5. The entire interior of the stable, especially the feeding trough! 
and drains, should be saturated with a disinfectant, as liquor cresolis com- 
positus (U. S. P.), or carbolic acid. 6 ounces to every gallon of water In each 



case. After this has dried the stalls, walls and ceilings may be covered 
with whitewash (lime wash), to each gallon of which should be added 4 
ounces of chloride of lime and four ounces of pure carbolic acid. 

The best method of applying the disinfectant and tne lime wash is 
by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardists. This 
method is efficient in disinfection against most of the contagious and infec- 
tious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately following any 
outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution, it may be used once or twice 
yearly. 

6. It is important that arrangements be made to admit a plentiful 
supply of sunlight and fresh air by providing an ample number of windows, 
thereby eliminating dampness, bad odors and other insanitary conditions. 
Good drainage is also very necessary. 

The usa of the liquor cresolis compositus, carbolic acid or other coal- 
tar product,-: around dairy barns, is inadmissible because of the 
readiness with which their odor is imparted to milk and other 
dairy products. Bichloride of mercury may be used in the pro- 
portion of 1 to 800, or 1 pound of bichloride to 100 gallons 
of water. However, all portions of the stable soiled with manure should 
first be thoroughly scraped and cleaned, as the albumen contained in ma- 
nure would otherwise greatly diminish the disinfecting power of the bichlo- 
ride. Disinfection with this material should be supervised by a veterina- 
rian or other person trained in the handling of poisonous drugs and chem- 
icals, as the bichloride of mercury is a powerful corrosive poison. The 
mangers and feed boxes, after drying following spraying with this material, 
should be washed out with hot water, as cattle are especially susceptible to 
mercurial poisoning. The bichloride solution should be applied by means of 
a spray pump, as recommended for the liquor cresolis compositus. Perman- 
ganate of potash, in the strength of 1 part to 2,000 parts of water, makes an 
excellent stable disinfectant.

OPINION-SUPREME COURT DECISION 



George Bishop vs. The State. 
Lincoln County Criminal Docket. 



The plaintiff in error, George Bishop, has appealed from a judgment 
of the Circuit Court of Lincoln County imposing upon him a fine of fifty 
dollars and the payment of the costs of the case for a violation of the quar- 
antine Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated by the Commission- 
er of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector to prevent and restrict the 
spread of communicable and infectious diesases among domestic animals in 
this State. 

The first question arises upon a demurer to the indictment, which 
was overruled by the trial Judge, and his action in that respect is assigned 
as error. 

The indictment is predicated upon Chapter 156 of the Session Acta 
of 1901, and particularly upon Sections 7 and 8 of said Act, together with 
certain of the Rules and Regulations adopted in pursuance thereof by the 
Commissioner of Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector. Said Act 
is entitled "An Act to prevent the spread of communicable diseases among 
domestic animals in the State of Tennessee, and to provide greater protec- 
tion to the live stock industry of the State, and to provide penalties for the 
violation of this Act, and to repeal Chapter 424 of the Acts of 1899, and to 
amend Chapter 46 of the Acts of 1907." 

Section 7 provides: "That the Commissioner of Agriculture and the 
State Live Stock Inspector shall have general supervision of all communi- 
cable diseases among domestic animals within or that may be in transit 
through the State, and they are empowered to establish quarantine against 
any animal or animals thus diseased, whether within or without the State, 
and may make such rules and regulations against the spread and for the 
suppression of said diseases as in their judgment may seem necessary and 
proper and in the enforcement of such rules and regulations they shall have 
the power to call on any one or more of the peace officers, whose duty it 
shall be to give all the assistance in their power." 

Section 8 provides: "That an> person who willfully hinders, ob- 
structs or otherwise disregards or evades such quarantine as they may de- 
clare, or violates any rule or regulation they shall make :n attempting to 
stamp out or restrict the spread of any disease or diseases aforementioned, 
or who shall resist any peace officer acting under them, or either of them, 
shall be guilty of a misdemennor, and upon conviction shall be fined not less 
than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned in the 
county jail for a period of three months, or both, at the discretion of the 
court." 

The first ground of the demurrer interposed by the defendant oelow 
is that "it is not alleged in the indictment found against him in this case 
that the two cows owned by him. which, it is alleged were permitted to run 



at large or stray on the public roads, commons and ranges of said county of 
Lincoln, were infected with any communicable or infectious diseases, or fe- 
ver ticks, or other communicable disorder." 

It is not necessary that the indictment should charge that the cattle 
which were permitted to run at large were infected with a communicable 
or infectious disease. The Commissioner of Agriculture and the State Live 
Stock Inspector are not limited by the statute to making rules which would 
prohibit live stock already diseased from running at large, but they are 
authorized and empowered by Section 7, above quoted, to "make such rules 
and regulations against the spread and for the suppression of said disease 
or diseases cs in their judgment may seem necessary and proper." it is 
manifest that a rule which went no further than to prohibit cattle which 
were already known to be afflicted with communicable or infectious diseases 
from running at large would be comparatively valueless in the way of pre- 
venting the spread of such diseases. 

The second and last ground of the demurrer is that "it is not shown 
in the said indictment what quarantine rules and regulations alleged to have 
been adopted, established and promulgated by the Commissioner of Agricul- 
ture and State Live Stock Inspector of the State of Tennessee have been vi- 
olated, evaded or disregarded." 

We think the indictment sufficient in the particulars indicated. The 
indictment (omitting formal caption) is as follows, viz.: "That George 
Bishop, heretofore, on the 23rd day of April, 1909, In the county aforesaid, 
did willfully violate, evade and disregard the quarantine rules and regula- 
tions adopted, established and promulgated by the Commissioner of Agricul- 
ture and State Live Stock Inspector of said State of Tennessee enacted and 
promulgated by them under and by authority of the Acts of the Genera] As- 
sembly of said State of Tennessee to prevent and restrict the spread 
of communicable and infectious diseases among domestic animals in said 
State, by allowing two cows owned by him, or under his control, to run at 
large, or stray on the public roads, commons and ranges of said county of 
Lincoln, the same being a county in said State of Tennessee, in which the 
work of tick eradication is being conducted, without first having obtained 
written permission for such privilege from a duly authorized inspector of 
said State, and against the peace and dignity of the State." 

Under the practice of this State many of the formalities and technical 
requirements of the common law in respect of indictments have been dis- 
carded. It is provided by statute that "the statement of facts constituting 
the offense, in an indictment, shall be in ordinary and concise language, 
without prolixity or repetition." (Shan. Code, Sec. 7077.) 

We think the indictment in this case shows with sufficient clearness 
the particulars wherein the defendant has willfully violated, evaded and 
disregarded the quarantine rules and regulations adopted, established and 
promulgated by the Commissioner of Agriculture and State Live Stock 
Inspector, etc.. in that he has allowed two cows owned by him to run at 
large or stray on the public roads, commons and ranges of Lincoln county, 
the same being a county in Tennessee in which the work of tick eradication 
is being conducted, without first having obtained written permission from a 
duly authorized inspector of the State. The necessary fact of these aver- 
ments is to charge that the defendant has violated that particular rule and 



regulation which prohibits cattle to run at large in the manner stated. The 
demurrer was properly overruled, 

It is insisted on behalf of plaintaiff in error that the evidence does not 
sustain the verdict of the jury. We think otherwise. In fact, the pi oof 
clearly establishes the guilt of the plaintiff in error. A pamphlet copy of 
the rules an.i regulations governing cattle quarantine in the State of Ten- 
nessee, duly proven to have been adopted and promulgated by the Commis- 
sioner of Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector, and in force during 
the year of 1909 is found in the record. Section 1 of said rules and regula- 
tions is as follows: "The fact has been determined by the Commissioner 
of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector, and notice is hereby given, 
that a contagious disease known as Splenetic, Southern or Texas Fever ex- 
ists among cattle in counties and portions of counties situated south or be- 
low the following described i<ne." Then following the boundary of the quar- 
antined territory, from whi^h it appears that all that part of Lincoln coun- 
ty lying south of Elk River is included therein. Section 1 then concludes 
as follows, viz.: "Now, therefore, we, John Thompson, Commissioner of 
Agriculture, and W. H. Dunn, Live Stock Inspector, do hereby quarantine the 
area situated south and below the above-described lines and it is hereby or- 
dered that cattle of the area south or below the said described line shall not 
at any time be transported, driven or allowed to drift therefrom to any por- 
tion of Tennessee north or above said line, except as hereinbefore provided 
for immediate slaughter. Neither shall cattle of any county within said 
area be transported, driven or allowed to drift therefrom into any county 
within said area wherein the work of tick eradication is being conducted, 
except after inspection and upon written permission issued by a duly author- 
ized State Inspector." Section 5 (the particular rule violated by the plaint- 
iff in error) is as follows, viz.: "No person or persons owning or having in 
charge any cattle, horses or mules shall permit the same to run at large or 
stray on any public road, common or range in any county in this Stat.3 !n 
which the work of tick eradication is conducted, unless the owner shall 
first obtain written permission for such movement or privilege from a duly 
authorized inspector of this State; no person shall move or cause to be 
moved, any cattle or other domestic animal in any manner from the farm, 
field or enclosure in which they are quarantined to any other place except 
on written permission from a duly authorized State Inspector." 

It appears without serious controversy on the record, that the plaint- 
iff in error willfully and knowingly permitted two cows owned by him to run 
at large on the public roads, commons and ranges in that part of Lincoln 
County south of Elk River on the 23d day of April, 1909 (the date set out in 
the indictment), for a time theretofore and thereafter. That therefore, 
to wit, on February 3, 1909, and again on March 13, 1909, notices had appear- 
ed in the Lincoln County News, a newspaper published in Fayetteville, in 
Lincoln County, and circulating throughout that county, warning cattle own- 
ers in Lincoln County south of Elk River that all cattle in that territory 
must "go off the range" and "go under the fence" on and after April 1, 1909. 

It also appears from the testimony of R. E. Koonce, Live Stock In- 
spector for Lincoln County, that during the month of April, 1909, and prior 
to the 23d day of said month, he (Koonce) had a conversation with plaintiff 
in error concerning the rules and regulations governing cattle quarantine, 

34 



and in the course of which conversation he produced and read to plaintiff 
in error a copy of said rules and regulations. Plaintiff in error admitted on 
the witness szand that he had the conversation detailed by Koonce. 

The lact assignment of error necessary to be noticed is based upon 
the refusal of the court below to give in charge tc the jury a special request 
preferred by counsel for plaintiff in error, as follows, viz.: "The court 
charges that it is the insistence of the State in this case that a rule or leg- 
ulation of the State Live Stock Inspector and Commissioner ot Agriculture 
has been violated in this case, which rule or regulation has been heretofore 
shown you in evidence. The court charges that the question of whether the 
rule is a reasonable one is a question of fact for the determination of the 
jury under Vr.e evidence and the charge of the court." 

The question of the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the rule 
or regulation of the Agricultural Department involved in this case was one 
for the court, and not for the jury to determine. The general rule is that 
the reasonableness of rules, regulations or by-laws adopted and promulgated 
by officials or boards pursuant to authority delegated by the Legislature is to 
be decided as a question of 'aw, and that such by-law, rule or regulation, if 
unreasonable, is to be held void as a matter of law; and it is improper to 
submit the question of the reasonableness of such a by-law, ordinance or 
regulation to the decision of a jury. (Thompson on Trials, 1057.) 

The same question in principle has been often before the courts in 
respect of the determination of the validity of ordinances of municipal cor- 
porations — whether they are reasonable or unreasonable. The authorities 
are practically unanimous in support of the rule that the question of 
whether an ordinance or by-law of a municipal corporation is reasonable is 
one of law for the court. Thompson on Trials, Sec 1056; McQuillin's Mu- 
nicipal Ordinances, Sec. 185; Con. v. Worchester, 3 Pick. (Mass.) 462; Hawes 
v. Chicago, 138 111., G53 (42 N. E. Rep.., 373); State v Boardman, 93 Me : 73 
(44 Atl. Rep., 118): City of Austin v. City Cemetery Ass'n, 87 Texas, 330 
(38 S. W. Rep., 528; 47 Am. St. Rep., 114); State v. Jersey City, 27 N. J. L., 
348. 

The learned trial Judge did not err in refusing to instruct the jury as 
requested. 

It is earnestly insisted by the learned counsel for plaintiff in error 
that the "regulation upon which this prosecution is predicated is unreason- 
able, and, therefore, void a3 a matter of law." In order to demonstrate the 
supposed unreasonableness of the regulation, counsel suppose an extreme 
case altogther foreign to the facts of the present case. We do not think 
that the reasonableness of any such rule or regulation Is to be tested by its 
application to extreme illustrations. We have carefully considered the ar- 
gument of counsel for plaintiff in error in support of the proposition that the 
regulations in question are unreasonable, and we are unable to concur there- 
in. Having due regard to the objects sought to be attained, and the exist- 
ing circumstances and contemporaneous conditions — all of which are proper 
to be considered — we think the rules and regulations adopted by the Com- 
missioner of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector, and involved in 
this case, are reasonable and are within the powers conferred by the Act 
of Assembly; and, therefore, valid. 

The judgment must be affirmed. 
April 2, 1910. (Signed) BEARD, Chief Justice.
